MACHINE FOR FINISHING STONE AND THE LIKE.

Application filed May 21.1913.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that l, Cnaatns A. GRICE, a subject of the Kingdom of (treat Britain, residing at Allwood, in the county of Pas-- saic and State of New Jersey. have invented certain Improvements in Machines for Finishing Stone and the like. of which the following is a specificatimi.

The objects of this invention are to provide a machine for rubbing, honing and polishing the surface of marble, granite and other kinds of stone or similar material, as is necessary for preparing the same to be used in building or the like, particularly for interior work, and which has heretofore been done by hand to greater or less extent; to provide an automatic machine for doing this work, so that the results will be uniform and quickly obtained; to provide in such a machine rotating rubbers which also shift laterally so as to prevent lining or ridging the marble or other material being worked, and to enable the amount of such shifting to be adjusted; to provide resiliency in the rubber or supporting means therefor, so that the rubber can rise onto unevennesses in the surface to be rubbed, honed or polished; to enable dill'erent kinds of rubbers to be interchanged for different materials or for difi'erent purposes, such as roughing down to size, finishing or polishing, and to enable such interchange to be made quickly and easily; to provide suitable means for supporting and driving the rubbers, which also admit of their being raised andlowered, either to work at different heights or to appl and remove them on a given piece of wori; to secure means for lubricating the supporting means of said rubbers, and for supplying water to the rubbers themselves; to provide alternating tables arranged end to end, so that one may be feedinga piece of'work to the rubbers While the other is being loaded; to provide suitable'imeans for operating said tables or a single table, and to obtain other advantages and results as may be'brought out in the following description.

Referring to the accompanying d awings in which like numerals of reference iuili'utte the same parts throughout the several fig ures, Figure 1 is a side elevatioaot a ma chine embodying my invention; Fig. 12 is an elevation of the end of the same which is at the left-hand in Fig. 1; Fig. dis a plan Specification of Letters Patent.

The carriage 8 has at its opposite upright sides, see Figs. 2, 3 4 and'5, series of upper and lower bearings 61, 62, respectively, each of which pairs rotatably supports a spindle 63 adapted to carry one of the rubbers 10. Said spindle, which is shown in detail in Fig. 11. is tubular and provided at its upper end with a gear wheel 64 fast to the spindle. This gear wheel 6i rests upon a cap 65 for the bearing 61, which cap in' turn rests upon ball-bearings 66 suitably arranged in the bearing 61 or upper recess thereof. vA bushing 67 extends from said ball-bearing 66 downward through the bearing 61 between it and the spindle 63. The lower bearing 62 similarly as a bushing 63 arranged between iaself and the spindle, as shown. \Vithin the said tubular spindle 63 is the stem 69 of a rubber 10, said stem being also hollow and receiving at its upper end a water sup ply tube 70, which is provided at its top with a funnel-like bushing 71 adapted to seat loosely in the upper end of the spindle. \Vater may be supplied to these funnels 71 of the various spindles by any system of piping suitable to the purpose and which I have not shown since it is no part of my invention.

In order to lubricate the upper bearings 61, each is adapted to receive an oil pipe as at 7 2 in Fig. 11, from Which point a duct 7 3 leads radially inward to an annular space 74 between the bearing and its bushin 67, there being also a lower annular recess 75 of similar nature and connected to the upper one by vertical passages 76 as may be necessary to allow the oil to pass to said lower recess 75. From each annular recess a passage 76 extends radially through the bushing 67 and opens into an annular recess 77 contiguous to the spindle 63. The outer surface of the spindle 63 is provided with spiral grooves 78 each extending preferably about 180 around the spindle and being inclined rearwardly upward with respect to the direction of turning of the spindle, the ends of said grooves extending to the upper and lower annular recesses 77, 77, so that as the spindle rotates said grooves will carry some of the oil which tends to collect by gravity in the lower part of the bearing upward to the upper part of the bearing Furthermore, the spindle has passages 79 through its walls at the level of' the lower annular recess 77 which are inclined rearwardly inward, oblique to radial lines, as shown in Fig. 13. and these passages are adapted to conduct oil to the stem 69 of the rubber. Said stem is suitably grooved both longitudinally as at 80 and circumferentially as at 81 to hold the oil so fed to it, and thus the stem is lubricated as it slides up and down in the spindle. A vertical du t 5%: wlenliini'i' upward from the Oil duct H of the upper bearing is adapted to conduct lubricant o the ball-bearing 66 as shown in I i". ll.

The lower spindle hearing 6; illlh m ans 86. It has also radial ducts 87 leading f om said annular recesses 84, 83 to innc nnular recesses 88, and the spindle has spiral grooves 69 and passages 91 to the stem 2-9 as in the upper bearing.

The stem 69 is keyed to the spindle 62; preferably by long splines 92 at opposite points, so that although said stein can slide freely up and down the rubber always turns with the spindle. Referring now more r.- pecially to Figs. 16, 17 and 18 the stem 36 of the rubber carries fast to its lower end as by the key 93 and set screw 94 a slecw 95 which provides at its and, hevond the end of the stem opposite depending cars 96. 96 which are substantially parallel to each other and receive between themselves a block 97 which is hinged by a pin 95 passed transversely through said block and ears Atright angles to each pin and in the same transverse plane. said joint l)l0(l\' 97 has trunnions 99 which are journaled in the lateral wall of the central apertim of a male coupling plate 106 thus secured at the end of the stem or sleeve 95 thereof. It will be understood that this coupling plate 100 can tilt with respect to the stern by vintue of the universal joint formed by the joint block 97, and to render such tilting stifily resilient I place upon the sleeve 95 a collar 101 having at.its lower end a cir cumferential flange 102 substantially parallel to the coupling plate 100. and arranged between said flange and coupling plate a heavy ring 103 of rubber or other suitably equivalent cushioning means. ill-- neath the coupling plate 100 is a larger rubl er plate 104 which is recessed annularlv at its under side as at 105 to receive rings or other shaped pieces of carborundnni or other abrasive material 106, 107 cemented i in place in any suitable inannen The center of the plate 105 is apertured to receive the hub of the coupling plate. as at 166,

and the top of the plate 105 is adapted to.

fit against the bottom of the coupling plate around said hub. one having notches 109 t all) an i

receive undercut projections 110 on the other arranged and adapted so that \Yillli turned to carry said notches and proiec tions out of registration, the plates will he held together. Suitable means ar prel erably provided for locking the plates in such turned relation such as a spring bollv 111 on one of them adapted to enter a "re-- cess 112 in the other.

in a circumferential groove 189 of the flange 1:23 of the collar on the reduced lower end of the stein, see Fig. 15) more especially. By making these springs 183 of suitable ten- 5 sion, obviously the weight or downward pressure of the rubbers would be counteracted to any desired degree. In order to prevent the collar ll turning with the stem and thus twisting the said springs183, projeelions 18G, 18%? from the ring; 124 have ver tirai siots 187 to receive the arms 185. i h.. 1* shown these projections 186 as mounted upon the trnnnions 125 of the ring 124 be (ween said ring andthe arms 12? of the 15 rocking lever 128. hutobviously they could be othei'w 4n formed as for instance i y making them integral with the ring 124. As shown, in Fig. there is a pair of those springs 183 for each rubber. and by means iii any desired pro or of the rubbers .i'iiI'i-L bin ti; them mu be secured. tabl s 1. .2 i have shown provided at ies with ril=;-= 13'? adapted t huprd gli' tfi l he trawl-1s. for arriving said tahies each is d at it under side mi .wa v between r bs with a rank 23!: pinion i i-i see Figs. :3 and upon a shaft 141 projeriin r iransverseiy of the bed or 38 base 4 at the side of the machine away from the belt pulleys The outer ends of these shafts carry snrockrt wh els 42 for the table 1 and 14.3 for the tab 3 id sprocket wheels being out of aiinruirut and runneeted by chains 1H.
